Thus one would have expected the company to end the first quarter with a bumper profit but no such luck; it ended with a net profit of Rs.56 lakh, which was 14% higher on a YoY. The robust topline did not get translated into an equally robust bottomline on account of raw material costs, which was up 20 times at Rs.16 crore.The company’s equity is small at Rs.1.66 crore and it is sitting on a huge reserves of Rs.93 crore as at 31st March 2011.
